^ Why the double post...?

 

didn't want to let it go with the last page given the topic change from DSLR to GF!

 

Some old shots that I never posted.

Shutter speed was just a little too slow, 1/125, should have been 1/250


Shutter speed was too fast, 1/1000, should have been 1/400


Both shots taken with 55-200mm

 

Well I'm glad to say that I can finally post in this topic. I have just recently began getting really into photography so for christmas I got the new Canon Eos Rebel Xsi with a 18-55mm IS lens. I love them so far and I'm home in Palm Beach, Fl for the holidays so I've got some good pictures. Here are some of my shots and all critism is welcome, like I said I'm new at this and still learning all the features of my camera!

P.S. Sorry for the big pictures...






Again any critism is welcome! =]

some chess pieces

I see that!!!!!!!

In high school we invented a 4 player chess board. Course we had to modify the rules a bit but DARN it was fun.

 

I have heard about playing chess with four sets, it's called something i forgot what tho lol. and my chess table was a birthdat gift like 2 years ago, he has always made me like lil cars with functioning doors hoods and stuff, i have some very unique things.

 

i would kill for a table like that. I've played so many types of chess. LOVE 3 level chess.

 

how long have you been playing, i have been playing since i was little little

You no likey the 1/3rd portraiture rule?

 

Yeah that's something I need to work on. I might have a picture day tomorrow and just get some practice in.

 

Feels like forever since I've taken some decent pics. My mom and step-dad were given a free 2-night stay at the Hilton in downtown Wilmington and decided to bring me and my lil bros along. So I went out for a walk and some pics. Here's some of what I got...
